-Yes, I did look at the charts for the Lingenfelter. My question to you is: Did you look at the "right" one? The uppermost dyno chart (the one that says "drag strip configuration, VP109 fuel, 2.38" pulley...race fuel calibration") shows boost mostly just under 13psi and peaks to 15psi @ 6,250rpms.

-They gave a temp of 79*f and a calculated DA of 1690.

-You are mistaken.....I have absolutely NO HATE at all for the ZL1. In fact, I was a ZL1 "fan-boy" way back when it was just a rumor that a supercharged Camaro was in the works. But I am extremely dissapointed in the apparent stock 1/4 mile performance....enough to where I'm considering "all other options" for my next car.
I may be mistaken. I am human. I'll look again.

I am sorry you are thinking of another vehicle because of one posted time. The dyno on the HPE car doesn't look right to me, and several others. I do expect them to get better times if they re-run the car. especially if the car gets broken in. but we will see.
